I have a bunch of peeling paint on exterior window trim to remove before painting (as well as some on the house shingles). What accessories to use?

I would use a heat gun with a paint scraper to remove the paint. Do not do this if the paint is lead based. The fumes are toxic. Because you have painted sashes your windows are most likely painted with lead based paint. Sanding will also cause toxic dust particles, too. I would test the paint for lead before proceeding. If your paint is latex based use a heat gun and scraper to remove the paint followed up with medium, then, fine sand paper. The DSC355D1 can sand most of the areas of the sashes with the attachment included. Hand sand hard to reach areas with a small 3M sanding sponge in medium and fine units. Have a professional removal company do this work if the paint is lead based.

I don't think I would use an oscillating tool to remove old paint. A wire brush on a drill or grinder would work better. But I guess if you really wanted to do it that way I'd use some kind of rasp attachment.

If you need to do the whole house, this is not the tool for it. Way too slow regardless what accessories you use. Carbide hand scraper, paint stripper, ceramic flap disc with angle grinder, or paint & rust sipper with angle grinder would be my choice. I would also use a vacuum attachment on the angle grinder.

HI- A good copper cleaner will do. Like Twinkle, etc. Apply the paste to outside only

www.goofoffproducts.com has some stuff that will remove paint. Look on their website.

I would imagine that you could go to your local hardware store and pick up some paint...but I haven't seen any add-on items like that for it. Hope that helps.

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

It's less sticky than packing tape so shouldn't be a problem, unless the paint is cracking and peeling already. There should be no adhesive residue on the window. If there is and you don't have something like GooGone, I've heard peanut butter works. But be careful of putting anything oily on matte finishes.

The decals peel off much like other window decals...just remember, these decals go on the outside of the window. I just removed some of the older decals that I have today so I could wash windows and they left no trace behind.

I never did it on a window.But I don't see why you couldn't.You may have to soften with a window cleaner or try Goo gone spray gel found at bed and bath.This would help using the Scotty peeler.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application. Hope this helps.

We really haven't managed to get all of it off yet. We used various grades of sandpaper and sanded the bejesus out of the door jam, but we gave up for bit because I was going crazy. When we finish doing that, we'll have to repaint of course. My husband also thinks paint remover might work as well but we haven't tried it yet. Mostly, I've been putting the whole thing off.

I use it to hold on hurricane protection sheets over my windows. I have used them for 6 years and found no damage from them on good paint. Ifd you already have peeling paint on your windows it might remove the paint when they are removed.

Use Rust-Oleum Lacquer Thinner (available on Amazon), paper towels and a lot of elbow grease. Don't bother with nail polish remover, acetone, household cleaners, etc -- only the lacquer thinner (or possibly a glass scraper) really works. Make sure to use in a ventilated area and to wear protective gloves.

there is a paint thinner by createx or depending on what you want to use it for.. clear windex works good for me.. ( I use this for spray painting finger nail designs)

You can use a Big Box exterior primer. Roll on with small roller where it will contact.

I'm removing the original paint on a commercial cart, the same one you see at Home depot. The paint is really tough to remove down to metal, looks like I'm using up most of the woven pad. And this is before using hand scraper, needle scaler and hard disk grinder. However Norton is the fastest but most expensive - it's a trade off. Next time I'll try torching the paint off then follow up with a diamond grinder.

Roll it out on the hood or another flat surface and use the tip of a razor knife to separate a corner of the tint..should give you a good starting point..

Use Lacquer thinner much faster and it does a better job make sure you open the windows. Also only $ 14.00 a gallon and you can twice the area. poor it on a small area and wipe it up with a clean rag use gloves
